Moscow Times:Russian president to Turkish ambassador: "tell your dictator President he can go to h

Putin has personally sent a message to the Turkish ambassador to Moscow, Mr Ümit Yardim, and warned him that Russia will stop any relationships unless the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stops supporting ISIS terrorists in Syria. According to The leaked information obtained by The Moscow Times, the meeting between the Mr.Purin and Turkish ambassador was imbued with intense mutual resentment where Mr. Yardim has repudiated all Russian accusations, laying blame on Russia for Syria’s bitter and protracted civil war.

“..THEN TELL YOUR DICTATOR PRESIDENT HE CAN GO TO HELL ALONG WITH HIS ISIS TERRORIST AND I SHALL MAKE SYRIA TO NOTHING BUT A ‘BIG STALINGRAD’ , FOR ERDOĞAN AND HIS SAUDI ALLIES ARE NO VICIOUS THAN ADOLF HITLER,” replied Vladimir Putin in the 2-hour closed door meeting with Turkish emissary.

I would add to that word two more— “Hagia Sophia” . If Turkey shot down a Mig would Europe Fight for Turkey? Will their be a Europe or part of the Islamic world? Putin should demade that Hagia Sophia be given back to the church and re-opened for Orthodox Worship! And send warships to the Golden Horn to make sure Christians are protected. I would love to see the Cruiser Peter the Great at anchor next to ancient city.

One other story about the Cossacks is an amusing lesson in diplomacy. Ivan Sirko (1605-80), the hetman or chief of the Cossacks on the lower Dnieper, made several raids on the Ottoman Empire and its Crimean allies in the 1660s. The Ottoman sultan, Mohammed IV, warned the Cossacks not to do it again with this letter:

"I, the Sultan, son of Mohamed, brother of the Sun and Moon, grandson and vicegerent of God, sovereign of all kingdoms: of Macedonia, Babylonia, and Jerusalem, of Upper and Lower Egypt: king of kings, ruler of all that exists; extraordinary, invincible knight; constant guardian of the grave of Jesus Christ; trustee of God himself; hope and comfort of Moslems, confusion and great protector of Christians, command you, the Zaporozhian Cossacks, to surrender to me voluntarily and without any kind of resistance, and don't permit yourselves to trouble me with your attacks!" Turkish Sultan Mohamed

In response, Sirko wrote the most offensive letter ever sent from one head of state to another:

"Thou Turkish Satan -- Thou damned brother of the Devil! What manner of beast art thou? The Evil One vomits up what thou swallowest! We fear not thy army, thou Babylonian cook, Macedonian stavebinder, brewer of Jerusalem, Alexandrian goat-thief, Egyptian swineherd, tartar ram, Kamenetz hangman, Podolian evildoer, seed of the very Devil, clown of Hades, swinesnout and mare's ass, red-haired she-dog, unbaptized skull. May the Evil One catch thee! The date we know not for we have no calendar. The moon is in the sky, the year is in the book, and outside of this it is the same day here as with thee, so you can kiss us you know where!"
